It was assumed that t.y one who wore the uniform was. of course, not espectable and therefore not entitled to enjoy enteralnrnent in respectable places. Many judges have inreased this prejudice by senten iim vagrants to enlist

A Cleveland theater put a gnboard out inviting any one wearing his country's niform to come in as the theater's honored guest. A milar attitude of appreciation for the uniformed de nder of his rountry has developed everywhere. It

a mouth. The present rate is $10 a month for the first enlistment, increasing with subsequent enlistments. Tt may seem li!; a little thing to double tTiat figure, until we consider the normal army pay of other nations. That despi.ed fifty cents a day for the American soldier in addition to his necessary livin expenses was more than twice as much as was paid by any other nation. The nearest approach to such munificence was shown b Great Britain, with $SI a year, or less than $7.00 a month. The Herman soldier received $:!S a year, the French soldier 120 a year, the Austrian soldier $S a year and the Hussian soldier $4 a year. Some changes have been made during the war, but not enough to make any material change in ratio. The Canadian troops, and those from some of the other British colonies, drawing their pay from their home governments, have a higher standard. It appears, however, that none of them get as much as the United States soldier will get, thanks to Congressman ttarnhart and others of his mind. And this proud eminence is proper enough. A dollar a day isn't any too much for the richest nation on earth to pay the boys who do its lighfAnc.

SELLING TO HOUSEWIVES. A woman who tries to run her household as effective-

ly and comfortably as possible, read longingly of electric-

washers und vacuum cleaners, and set off joyously to ;

investigate the subject at first-hand. What this woman found in her supposedly enlightened city ought to be a lesson to salesmen everywhere. She had expected a big electrical supply house would carry several makes of washing machines. It had but one. and to see the others before making her important decision she had to wander wearily from supply house to department store, to furniture store, each of which carried one make, and in each of which the salesman denounced the other makes, root and branch. In each place the salesman began with a memorized talk about drives and clutches and so many revolutions forward and back none of which meant anything to her. She began to ask housewifely questions. "Why should I rinse the clothes by hand? Why not empty the suds, fill with clear water and let the machine do It?" The salesman looked blank. It wasn't done.

The News-Times Is conducting colunip with the cooperation f the National Kuiergetiey Fond Garden Commission to inspire the planting of more food gardens throughout the country. Members of the commission are: Charles Lathrop Pack, president of American Forestry association; Luther Htirb.mk, Dr. Claries W. Kllot. Prof. Irring Fhher. John Hay Hammond. Fairfax Harrison, Myron T. Herrlck. Dr. John Grler Hibben. F.merson McMlllln. A. W. Sh.itv; Carl Vrooman. assistant secretary of agriculture: Capt J. ß. White. U.

Any questions should be written on one side of th paper and sent to the Garden Kditor of the News-Times.

The city gardener, who has only a small space for cultivation must be an intensive farmer, and there is no crop with which intensive farming gives better results than with tomatoes, says today's bulletin from the national emergency food garden commission, which in co-operation with this paper is promoting more home gardens to insure a sufficient food supply this year.

If this were the only method of growing tomatoes they would not be a good crop for the home garden because of the room they thus occupy. But by the use of intensive methods the plants can be hvought into such small compass that they become one of the heaviest food producers to the square foot of ground The vines must be trained to climb. In hot houses, where every foot of space is valuable, tomatoes are always trained on trellises. In the garden they can be tied to fivefoot poles, and in this way other crops can be planted close to them. One way to do is to pinch off the side branches as they appear so that all of the plant's igor will go into the main stalk which can be trained up a pole.

Five Minute Talks By National Leaders

In these war days the farm has about equal importance with the battlefield, and as many eyes scan the government crop forecasts as watch the casualty reports. A word on the farm problem from Charles S. Barrett, one of the leading agricultural authorities of the nation, is therefore of special interest. ki:i:pi.(j ih.mi:k.s on tiu: I-A K.MS. liy Charles S. Harrett. President Farmers' Union of America. The American people are much stirred up just now about the keeping of enough people on the farms to feed the nation, and th-re is much searching for ways and means as to the best means to use. Few seem to grasp the real truth. If toe farm population is decreasing relatively to the rest of the popula

tion it is because the farms are not

properly keeping the farmers. There will never tie any trouble about keeping any number of farmers on the farm as long as the farms are keeping the farmers. But when farmers cannot make a decent living, when they see the stuff that they sell for Jl passing into the hands of the consumer at $3. and when they see other classes prospering while they are not. then all the wisdom of a Solomon or strength of a Samson cannot fceep them on the farms they are going to move. So our friends in the cities need to get busy. And one of the first things they must learn i to properly place the farmer. Heretofore

little simple ai.d elementary truth would be helpful. FJvery man who produces, who buys, who sells, is a

business man. Differences are only i

of degree. If the miller v.ho grinds the grain, or the butcher who packs the meat are business men, then the farmers who grow the grain, who raise the hogs and cattle are also business men. Knlist him, then, where he belongs, in the ranks of the country's business men. and co-operate with
